KUNSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Men and women from Kunsan's Wolf Pack came out for a day of festivities celebrating their nation's freedom here July 1.

Festivities included a bowling tournament, chiefs vs. eagles softball game, Amazing Race, fireworks, a cardboard boat regatta, several concerts highlighting base bands and many more various activities across base.

The event was held on July 1 so Airmen could enjoy their four day weekend immediately following the festivities. This event epitomizes one of the installation commander's areas of focus: "Care for our Airmen".
